wow. I still cannot believe Jerry turned that down.

Do you guys think Bennett could still be traded after this season around draft day? If the Bengals have the 20th pick, I would pull the trigger on that trade so fast.

Yeah, he could.

But that's when players have their lowest value and picks have the highest value.

Be honest; you are thinking about Berry.

Weve spent years and high draft picks looking for just this guy. There's no way they're getting rid of him. Get over it.

Searching for what? An undersized Left Tackle that occassionaly catches the ball? Please.

A blue chip LT for the next 10 years>>Martellus Bennett

The only way they should have considered it is if the coaches are down on him.

I'm one that would've done it in a heart beat. This is what New England does all the time, they trade players for 1st rounders and for some reason, they always have 2 first round picks in the draft.

umm just getting a first for Martellus is a complete steal. Let's not push it.

I really do hope Jerry wakes up and trades him on draft day for Eric Berry. Our defense would be ballin.

I don't like Martellus's body language. He seems to play with a wounded ego. Not good.

We run a two TE formation as a base offense. Why would we make this trade?










We didn't. :)

There was a time we were offered decent picks for Romo and Austin but decided to stay the course. I don't mind doing the same with Bennett. It's easy to say "OMG, a 1st rounder!!" But when you put a face to that first rounder, he could easily be Bobby Carpenter. It's a gamble either way.

With Witten, I think Bennett would be expendable for that price. You don't get the opportunity to get a 1st rounder for a guy you KNOW will never be much more than a #2 on your team.

If there was any remote chance Bennett could surplant Witten, then that's one thing but it'll never happen as long as Witten is here.

That being said, I'm not at all upset we passed.

I noticed Peplaw does the same thing.
Yes, we have a bad habit of mocking loud, obnoxious teenagers on the board.

And yet we spent a first round pick on a #2 running back.

So that's what you do in your freetime? Mock "teenagers" on message boards?
